Lube it... I sprayed WD on everything within the panel.... Talk about night and day difference!

 

Thanks...that was my next thought too. I'll do it!

 

Outstanding...it's not "perfect", but I can now open and close without much hassle. Thanks again....

 

No problem... Like I said, mine was getting to be a pain to open... I had to yank on it, so I did what I said and it's so easy!

 

yeah mine was very difficult to open and the lock wouldnt work at all. i sprayed wd-40 into the key hole and all aroung the latching mechanisms and it works just like it did when it was brand new. god bless wd-40
